    The specs say for engine serial # n90 with a no load speed of 2500 rpm . I think with the bigger injectors they had a lower rpm

    No load RPM is always higher than loaded rpm. I'm pretty sure your engines are supposed to make 2350 rpms with a load WOT. They're very good running engines with N90 injectors. Crisp, clean, good throttle response. I ran a set of Covingtons that initially had 110's and the owner had 90's put in during the rebuild.

    Friction. Just drive it out with a punch and mallet.

    Covington, S&S, J&T and others were all called on for some more HP than DD delivered.
    If painted green; should be N90s.
    Not Green; could have anything for injectors, turbos, blower ratio or cam timing.

    Then there ya go, N90 for sure.
    Nothing exotic. Just a solid & stock DDC engine.
    It does not get any better. :):)

    I think Oceans are a heck of a bit lighter also.
